We help uncover risks and opportunities, enabling our clients to make informed decisions about the proposed transaction. Our work typically includes:
- Identifying issues that could jeopardise the transaction.
- Assessing the quality of the target's EBITDA and free cash flow.
- Evaluating the quality, trends and normalised level of working capital.
- Quantifying net debt and identifying debt-like items.
- Identifying deficiencies in internal controls, systems and personnel.
- Reviewing the target's financial projections and assessing the assumptions underpinning them.
- Reviewing the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) from a financial perspective.
Vendor Due Diligence
If you are preparing to sell your business, Vendor Due Diligence helps increase buyer confidence and can enhance value by providing accurate, consistent and reliable financial information.
The process also addresses operational, technology and people-related matters that can make the difference between a successful divestment and a prolonged, potentially contentious transaction process..
Due diligence for Direct Lenders
Direct lenders require confidence that the target's operating performance and cash flows will be sufficient to service the debt. We provide:
- Pre-lending and refinancing due diligence.
- Post-acquisition due diligence.
- Distressed debt reviews.
